Review on Sony Vegas Pro

I have been dealing with Sony Vegas for almost 2 years now. It has become a staple in my Broadcasting classes. To me this is a great intermediate program with a lot of great plug-ins, transitions, and FX in general.

In saying all these nice things about Vegas, now the bad stuff. It doesn't have enough of the plug-ins, transitions, or FX. When looking at Vegas compared to Final Cut, the standard for most movie companies, you are left wanting more. With that being said, intermediate is the best answer for it. For the price that you are paying, which is about Seven hundred dollars, its not that bad. You can make a great indie film with this program in post. Speaking of the plug-ins, transitions, and FX, large companies pay programers to make these for their Post companies. Then Post adds the new plug-in or what have you and everything is golden. In Vegas, you don't have that option. So why pay Seven hundred dollars for a program that you have to get Sony to update when they feel like it. Most likely in the next few years anyways, due to the fact that Sony will not be making any new Vegas models after 12, you won't be getting any new plug-ins at all. All and all I really do not like Vegas. It is the Post program that I use the most, but it is not the best, by a long shot. Save your money, get a Mac, and get Final Cut. Best that money can buy out in a consumers market.
